At first I felt that the pace of this awe-inspiring book was too slow and that it started to bore me, but after the actual journey to the centre of the earth started I could not judge the pace of the writing as I increased my own reading pace to a good extent due to the growing curiosity,axiety and excitement in me. Day and night I spent all my available time in reading the passages of the book.So, to conclude from this I could say that this science fiction novel was very gripping due to the author's vast imagination which almost touched the impossible but still compelled the reader to believe it. That is what I think I love the most about this novel.
Coming to the story, Professor Otto Lindenbrock, the most unpredictable person ever with a very impatient nature candied with a lot of will power and an enormous store of knowledge, with his nephew, Axel come across a book which has no value to the normal public but is of great value to the professor. Why? (Because he was the most unusual man and...) The book had a note from it's ex-owner (I actually don't know how many ex's), Arne Saknussemm which had the key to the passage from where one could plunge into the earth to have a good look at the bowels of the earth. Soon they start their expedition inspite of a lot of resistance from Axel. I don't want to tell any more exept that the three( Hans is a guide from Iceland who accompanied the lunatic professor :) and his nephew to their strange and life threatening voyage) have to face too many difficulties and obstacles.
My most favourite character in the novel is Hans, who is very brave, speaks as little as possible, expresses almost nothing about his feelings , has lots of common sense and presence of mind, is very strong and last but the most important of all that he is the only reason for the three to return safely back to the surface of the earth.
Do read this science fiction novel to have a glimpse of the great imagination of the author and to pass a good time visualising the incredible scenes and climaxes from the book.
